Senior Recruitment Consultant

About Chris

​Firstly, how long have you been with Service Care?

I joined in August 2023.

 

And what does your day-to-day role involve?

My day-to-day role in the Social Work team involves interacting and covering staff requirements for Candidates and Clients across the country. The team works to fill vacancies required by councils and organisations to protect some of the most vulnerable people in society.

 

Give us a brief overview of your professional background…

I spent 7 years in the biotechnology sector working as an R&D Scientist and Microbiologist looking for new ways to make the food/animal supply chain safer for everyone.

 

Using only 3 words, how would you describe Service Care?

Vibrant, Inclusive, and Dedicated.

 

What's your favourite quote/piece of advice you've ever been given?

Everything is theoretically impossible until it is done!

 

Lastly, when you're not at work, where can we find you?

The dancefloor! Love it!
